I have my own TV show, seriously.

**Imz** · 05-08-2009, 12:06 PM

badass; throw a little bit of "Long Way Round" in the mix too...

How about Alex Zanardi's hand-controlled open wheel car for a spin around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course? I can check with the Conquest Racing guys when I'm at the Indy 500 in a couple weeks.

White rim is a great ride! I highly recommend getting down to White Crack (giggle, still like the name) on the southern end of the trail. It has some of the most spectacular views mine eyes have ever seen.

sick man...congrats!

Thats pretty cool, I've never really been into bikes and cars but maybe one of the veterans will be a petrolhead. Either way it'd make a pretty cool little segment.

**IrieRon** · 05-09-2009, 02:42 PM

No worries; crashes = higher ratings anyway.

-I'm on it

**Crock** · 05-09-2009, 03:09 PM

very awesome Andy. This sounds so cool, I wish I were up for internship this summer, I'd try to get in on that!

**Trackhead** · 05-09-2009, 04:05 PM

Very cool Andy.

Keep us posted as the project moves along.

**Imz** · 05-09-2009, 04:19 PM

Kinda cool; the show comes on and you think to yourself "I know that guy!"

...and the you realize it's simply through seeing cool TRs on the TGR. Who says the interwebz is only good for porn!

Thanks mang, I'll be sure to get in touch when it's time to plan the winter trip to AK.

They've basically told me to just decide where to go and what to do, so obviously I'll be doing some heli-skiing in AK, even if it uses up 50% of the budget. I'd really like to make the entire season about just skiing and spend the season chasing storms but thats not what everyone else wants.

gapers.

Another TGR gold-nugget thread/story.

Well done man.

Andy
I mentioned your project to Marc Mast from the WRAP.

http://www.woodriverabilityprogram.org/

He already has a raft trip going on the Main Salmon River in central Idaho. The run is through about 80 miles of wilderness.

I gave him your website and some info. He will most likely be contacting you shortly.

Good luck with everything. Can't wait to see some of the adventures.

**ex-powderbroker** · 05-26-2009, 02:36 PM

hey man, congratulations. I don't know much about adaptive sports, but there must be some awesome things going on in NYC - the population here is too big and too crazy not to.

If you make it to ski in VT, i am definitely in.

**Tips^Up** · 05-26-2009, 03:14 PM

very cool Andy, hopefully mainstream america catches your enthusiasm as quickly as this place did. if you're roadtripping east to west (or vice versa), you'll most likely have to pass through the midwest. there's actually decent climbing (all single pitch; sport, trad or bouldering) and surprisingly fun mountain biking in iowa and the mississippi river makes for never-ending wakeboard/waterski runs. maybe not a destination, but if you're passing through, i'd be happy to help anyway i can.

ever heard of ragbrai? national geographic adventure just ranked it #7 in its list of most fun shit ever.

also, one of the partners at my firm is a vietnam vet and very active in veterans affairs. he's not physically disabled but is currently active in pursuing better treatment for PTSD. he'd be able to introduce you to many interesting people.

hopefully you won't forget about the maggots once you're rollin large in hollywood in your tricked out 4x4!

JONGs!

Fixed it for you.

This is awesome! I can't wait.

Oh, and if you do something car-related, it should be at Laguna Seca, not Indy. The corkscrew is way more photogenic. FKNA.

Finally people other than maggots will have some grasp of what the "Die Living" sticker is on my helmet.

**Schmear** · 05-26-2009, 04:45 PM

This is really cool. Congratulations, can't wait to see it.

**masterofgreenbeans** · 05-26-2009, 05:34 PM

Don't forget the eastern sierra specifically Mammoth.

Sometimes somewhere the planets and stars are in the correct alignment and good things will happen to good people. This is one of those times.
Who would have ever thought? This is really sick. Keep at it and good luck.

**splat** · 05-26-2009, 10:36 PM

Awesome, Andy.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who need to know they only need to roll out that door and indulge themselves to find exhilaration and smiles.

You are motivation and inspiration for many, including me.
